The old adage warning about the dangers of “wokeness:” was Go Woke, Go Broke. But given the increasing stupidity of the liberals in Canada, they spent the last several months urging their citizens to boycott America and spend their money in Mexico.

There is even a larger movement among European soccer fans to only attend World Cup matches in either Mexico or Canada.

Fast forward to yesterday, when the Mexican military kills a cartel leader and now you have tens of thousands of Canadians trapped in Mexico with no way home. Airports closed, buses and taxis burning, all Mexico now under travel warnings. FIFA is now having to consider moving all of their soccer games out of Mexico. In this case it’s isn’t Go Woke Go Broke, it’s more like Thinking US is Unsafe, is Making a Big Mistake!

So I have seen a lot on social media over the years, but some adults really see no lines to be crossed when they disagree with you. Andrew Cady a local mortgage broker found it necessary to refer to my 13 year old son, who he has never encountered or met, an entitled a-hole. And then 11 other adults liked that he called my 13 year old son an a-hole.

What the heck is wrong with people?

Update: the screenshots were from a private group and had to be removed per group policy, as was the post I referenced for obvious reasons.

It can take over 8 month to get your hip replaced in Canada, but if you have a mental illness that makes you feel the need to have both male and female ge***alia you get it your way, right away.

It isn’t just Canadian Hockey that is for losers! We’ve ended ge***al mutilation in America and if you need a new hip you can get it. Gold medal 🥇 in health care too!

Legitimate question for Walton County Sheriff's Office, Florida: after staking out the Starbucks and detaining kids for riding e-bikes last night, they are now patrolling the Origins neighborhood and knocking on doors to talk to 10 and 11 year olds after coming home on their e-bikes and asking them if they know a kid photographed popping a wheelie. Is this good use of a badge and gun? Maybe the community should set standards on what requires a badge and gun to get involved?

Personally, I think it’s great for kids to get outside and explore the area. This crackdown is keeping kids scared to go riding and right back on their screens.

Well we have yet another trans psychopath involved in a mass killing, this time in Canada. And folks, it ain’t the gun control laws because this is Canada and they don’t have a second amendment. They instituted a freeze on sales of handguns in 2022.

What is crystal clear is that the mainstream media and the doctors who lied to everyone by pushing transgender ideology. Those lies were that gender dysphoria isn’t a mental illness, that all the “normies” hate them, that because of this that violence against “normies” is justified.

Oh… and let’s put these mentally disturbed individuals on hormones that their bodies don’t make because that is going to make them better…

The doctors involved in transgender medicine should all lose their medical licenses. The psychologists pushing this ideology should lose their licenses. The school districts in California, Colorado, New York, Minnesota, and countless other states that allow school teachers and administrators to socially transition these children without their parents knowledge should all be defunded.

When it comes to transgender ideology, there is no room for tolerance. Tolerance has got us to where we are today. Many of these individuals are dangerous and they need to be helped by ethical physicians and psychologists who educate them that there are only 2 genders. And there is no amount of hormones or surgery that will change that. Hard truths may cause short term distress, but soft lies are far more destructive and this issue is a great demonstration of that reality.

HCA is opening up Freestanding Emergency Rooms across Florida. This has nothing to do with filling a community need. It is all about maximizing profits and filling up the beds at their closest hospitals. They just opened one a mile from our rural hospital and we created this graphic to educate our community on the difference between a Freestanding ED and a hospital.

An economic story related to RFK Jr. removing Sodas and Junk Food from the SNAP (food stamp) program.

These food items were the #1 category of SNAP expenditures. This went into effect on January 1st.

This week PepsiCo, parent company of Pepsi and Frito Lay announced a 15% price reduction on their products.

It’s simple supply and demand. We, the taxpayers, were buying their product. RFK Jr. said no more and now we see savings on these products for the taxpayers.

What else is the government buying needlessly that has driven up prices for the taxpayer?

Things that make you go hmmm 🤔

Moving on to a new topic related to illegal immigration but more about its impact on Healthcare. In a stunning admission yesterday, NY Governor Kathy Hochul said that half of all New Yorkers are on Medicaid. Given the population of New York being just over 20 million, that would mean approximately 10 million New Yorkers have managed to meet the income requirements to be on Medicaid. Official figures put that number at 7 million.

How is America’s most vibrant city considered to be the worldwide financial capital managed to enroll half of its population on a federal program designed to cover primarily women and children living below the federal poverty line?

The graph shows the explosion in federal Medicaid spending fueled by loosening of the requirements to be on Medicaid (Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion). Last week, CMS named New York as one of 7 states defrauding the system. Medicaid requires a match from the state to maximize federal funding. They allow an insurer tax to be implemented as a revenue stream for the state match, but the commercial insurance tax and Medicaid insurance tax must be similar. New York (and six other states) has been assessing a Medicaid insurer tax at 200x that of the commercial tax. Basically gaming the system by then paying the insurer tax back to the Medicaid insurers using federal money, eliminating any effective state match.

Lack of enforcement of this provision has “stolen” $100B from CMS over the last 4 years. CMS under Trump announced these states cheating the system must comply to continue to receive federal funds. This will leave New York with a $20B funding gap.

The states cheating Medicaid and enrolling illegals will have to make deep cuts or massively raise taxes. My guess is they go with option 2. The sad thing is that the people this hurts the most is the American women and children who truly need healthcare. But with the push to include the illegals and those who make more money into Medicaid, those who truly needed it will find healthcare a resource their card cannot provide.

I got the chance this afternoon to go to Revival House and talk with the owner. Rachel is a retired nurse, a mother, and working hard to revitalize the downtown area with her store.

We share many common values centered on faith and family. We have political views that differ in many areas too. She was insistent on her support of our law enforcement officers and that her business is open to consumers of all political beliefs. I truly belive she did not intend to post something many would see to be so divisive.

Independently, I had many people reach out to speak highly of the work of her husband as an attorney. It was pretty clear that he is not very (if at all) involved in running the store.

The post that generated the controversy has been removed and what I think this shows many of us who see the huge divide in our country with no hope for coming together is that when people talk, even if they disagree, we can live in peace and it starts locally.

Just as said by our hero, Charlie Kirk, “it’s when people stop talking, that’s when you get violence…” Let’s keep talking everybody!

So I thought a post I shared today was just a stupid business owner in downtown Panama City hosting a safe space for those “affected by the brutality of ICE.”

Kind of stupid for a business to alienate 73% of the potential customers in a county. Yes, Bay County went 73% for Trump. But it goes deeper. A follower sent me the Sunbiz information revealing the owner of the business, who is an attorney named Cole Davis.

Mr. Davis represents the city of Panama City Beach. As city attorney, he also represents the PCB Police Dept. I wonder how in the world the PCB police force, having already had a fellow officer killed by a criminal in a routine traffic stop, feel to know the man who would be defending them if they felt threatened and needed to act with less than a second between life and death believed that our men and women in uniform commit “brutality”?

Not directly related, but interesting, Mr. Davis is also the attorney for the PCB Tourist Development Council. The PCB TDC had $1 million stolen from them leading to 2 arrests and 2 resignations in the last month. You would think Mr. Davis would have much bigger fish to fry than providing a safe space and funding for events that occurred 1300 miles from where his duties appear to be in total disarray.

In just 2 years we’ve managed to cure the transgender epidemic in America by doing nothing more than pushing back on legacy media and the medical establishment and saying those who value children and family will punish you if you push an agenda that harms our kids. They counted on us being nice and not saying HELL NO. They counted us buying the BS with doctors spreading the lie that you can have “a dead son or a living daughter.” The reality is they will collaborate to create new lies and push new social contagion to our children, and we have to be on guard and say HELL NO way earlier than we did with Covid shots and with the gender ideology. We won and our nation’s children are far healthier when parents decide what is best for them - definitely not their WOKE pediatricians.
